Why should the background be treated differently than the foreground, if this is just a simple scan?
“Why should the background be treated differently than the foreground, if this is just a simple scan?”
I don’t know, but NBC claims: “That is the whole point of Mixed Raster Compression, the colored background is compressed differently than the foreground ‘text’.”
NBC is claiming that the Xerox did NOT do a “simple scan” but a compressed scan using industry standard algorithms (MCR) which NBC claims can result in replications in foreground shapes (mostly but not always text or numbers, IIRC...could be box shapes for example).
